Silky Pea & Mint Puree
A vibrant and protein-rich puree. The natural sweetness of peas combined with a hint of fresh mint creates a sensory experience that introduces your baby to mild herbal flavors early on.
Ingredients
- 150 grams Green Peas
- 2-3 leaves Fresh Mint
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a boil.
- Add the peas (fresh or frozen) and the mint leaves to a steamer basket over the boiling water.
- Steam for 3-5 minutes until the peas are bright green and tender enough to be easily mashed with a fork.
- Transfer the steamed peas and mint to a blender. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the steaming water, breast milk, or formula.
- Blend on high until very smooth. Peas have skins that can stay slightly fibrous; for a 'silky' texture, press the puree through a fine-mesh sieve with the back of a spoon to remove any remaining skin fragments.
- Adjust consistency with more liquid if needed and allow to cool before serving.
